The Trotters is done and the Pacers series is changing.
I wasn't around when it was announced. Any idea what the new format is ?

Robert , last June we had quite a lively thread going with our thoughts on the new format. http://www.harnessracingforum.com/sh...rdominion+2013
I have not changed my thinking from then to now about this. I like the locked in 3 year approach , but I do not agree with the changes to the overall Interdominion format . The current three sets of heats and a final , all at the same venue , spread over a couple of weeks , is my preference.
I'm with you David .
Thanks Greg. I must associate with the "right" crowd. I do not know anyone in my personal harness racing circle of acquaintances who is in favour of the new format.
David and Greg i'm with you 100%
They run lead up race's for the Miracle mile and HRNSW said this was to promote Menangle and if horses want to race for great prize money then they must come and race, on the other hand they are giving away heats for the Inter go figuire.
I don't know anyone that like's it either, imo they should change the name as it is not the Inter Dominion any more and hasn't been a true Inter for a few year's now.
Here! here! the original format is what MAKES the ID unique, in a similar way to the Melbourne Cup. This is not the first time nor will it be the last that people come up with "brilliant ideas", consult themselves!? and foist their findings on everyone else because they have convinced themselves they are smarter than the masses!Quote:

It's like Woolworths handing out unlimited free cash vouchers for their customers to do their shopping at Coles supermarkets and then saying whoever spends the most at Coles in the next month can then come to Woolworths and we will "reward" you for supporting the opposition. Crazy !!
